Why review a playground?
Staying up-to-date on the playgrounds in your city or prospective neighborhood can be a great strategy to put yourself in front of homeowners.
This lead generator strategy allows you to share insights about the neighborhood with homeowners who may be searching for the perfect playground in their area. They can find your review on google reviews or on the blog on your website. Being top of mind with prospective sellers builds a relationship and establishes your credibility. They may not be ready to sell their home yet, but once you begin engaging with them by providing relevant information and nurturing the relationship, you are already at the forefront of their minds when they are ready to make a home-selling decision.
Be an expert on your city
An effective sales funnel strategy is made up of three basic stages: Awareness, Consideration, and Conversion. The most important part of crafting an effective sales funnel is knowing what problem your target has and then showing them how you can solve it. It’s important to create awareness before your prospects can identify what their problem is or that they have a problem, to begin with. Reaching them first and demonstrating your value and authority ensures you are their go-to problem solver.
Being involved in and a part of events and places in your city is a major part of your lead generation strategy. It’s important to establish authority and build credibility as a trusted source of information in the areas you want to sell. Whether you get involved with a local charity drive, sponsor a pet adoption event, or plant trees for an earth day celebration, being known as the agent who gives back to your community will establish your reputation as a vital participant in the communities you serve.

How to write a review of a playground, step by step.
- Be strategic about the area you want to target for your playground review. Do your research and have a plan.
- Consider what is most important to the reader about the playground you are reviewing. If it’s in the heart of the city, is it within walking distance of shops and restaurants?
- Research parking, is there convenient parking nearby that will make it easier to load and unload for a playground playdate?
- Is the equipment old and outdated? Is it the same equipment you used when you were a child? Or, is there new, state-of-the-art equipment that helps kids stay active, and healthy and develop their motor skills?
- Is the equipment safe?
- What age is the equipment appropriate for?
- If the playground has an area for small children; infants and toddlers, is it separated from the equipment for larger kids? Is it still within eyesight of the children of both ages for parents with multiple children?
- Does the playground include an area for sports equipment like basketball, or baseball?
- Are there picnic benches for a mid-play picnic? Are the benches within eyesight of the children’s play area?
- Are there restrooms AND does the park’s department maintain them?
